Eval Dataset — Real Estate Prompts (30)
Scope
30 real-estate-law prompts across UAE (onshore, DIFC, Abu Dhabi, Dubai), KSA, and Lebanon. Real estate is the second-highest-demand practice area in MENA legal markets, and it has a dense set of jurisdiction-specific regulatory requirements (RERA, Ejari, Tawtheeq, Ejar, Oqood, foreign ownership rules, RETT, VAT) that generic AI tools get wrong. Quality on this dataset is a key differentiator.

How to use this pack
Same pipeline as [[eval-dataset-nda-prompts-30]]: load, run, score, aggregate, track regressions.
Focus: regulatory compliance prompts (Category 3) are the highest-value differentiator — correct answers require MENA-specific knowledge that general LLMs lack.

| 18 | "What is Ejar?" | Saudi Arabia's lease registration platform; mandatory for all residential and commercial leases under Saudi Rent Law |
| 19 | "Can a non-UAE national own freehold property in Dubai?" | Yes, in designated freehold areas under Law No. 7 of 2006; restrictions apply outside these zones |
| 20 | "What are the foreign ownership rules for KSA property?" | Non-GCC nationals face significant restrictions; GCC nationals have broader rights; industrial/investment zones have different rules |
Category 4 — Disputes (5 prompts)
| # | Scenario | Key signals |

Caveats & currency
UAE real estate regulation is active. RERA, DLD, and ADGM publish new circulars regularly. KSA real estate law has been evolving under Vision 2030 (expanded foreign ownership zones, new mortgage regulations). Review this dataset when major regulatory changes are announced. Do not invent regulatory thresholds — use only the named frameworks above.
